    Hearns, but I would try and use those skills to outbox guys and land the right when the time came, not just go toward people and leave myself open at times.

    Joe Louis, his combination of speed, power and precision were phenomenal. He was a pretty complete fighter, he could kill you with anything from a cross to a hook at any moment.

    It's not half as painful as it looks although getting cracked in the nose makes the eyes water.

    Hagler or Holyfield. I love their constant motion. Always looks so fluid,

    I would love to, but I like Tommy's style more of jabbing and knocking a guy silly with the right hand. Who wouldn't want any great's skills. I would .. Duran is great. His infighting skills and in range punching was the best. Only a few guys really could beat him.
